He gives a &#8220;laugh&#8221; when he says &#8220;no one has ever accused me of being useful before.&#8221; The laugh is not scripted, it is a direct response to her accusations. The emotion of the actor has to come off the page, and into the scene smoothly based on what actually would be the natural reaction of how people talk in real life, but the screenwriter will not dictate on script what the emotion is as it is open to interpretation by the actor. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"3r7pk\" data-offset-key=\"eollp-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"eollp-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"eollp-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">12. My conclusion is such that, if any two actors are given the same script it will be played out differently based on their interpretation of the text, their scene partner reactions, and their overall dynamics and most importantly, the viewer notices two distinctive characteristics of the actors on screen &#8211; body movement and speech.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"3r7pk\" data-offset-key=\"bl8n0-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"bl8n0-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"bl8n0-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">13.
